As a citizen of India, how would you support India’s candidature for the permanent membership of the Security Council ? Justify your proposal.

Solution
India must be a permanent member of the Security Council for the following reasons :


1. India is the second most populous country in the world comprising almost one-fifth of the world population.

2. India is the world’s largest democracy.

3. India has participated in virtually all of the initiatives of the UN.

4. Its role in the UN’s peacekeeping efforts is significant.

5. India's economic emergence on the world stage is another factor perhaps justifies its claim.

6. India has made regular financial contributions to the UN and has never faltered on its payments.
